Go Devils. But I only started watching in 2003. The Stanley Cup was live on free television in the UK and I couldn't bear seeing a Disney owned team called the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim winning so I supported the Devils. I hope to see a live NHL game soon, but that will probably be Nashville who are nearest to my relatives.
Theres a lot of baseball on this hockey thread, but no NFL or NBA. Are NFL/NBA taboo? |

Everyone should getthe opportunity to see an NHL game live. I love watching on TV, but there is nothing like being there. The first game I saw was a exhibition game between the Kings and the Oilers. It was the first year after Gretzky was traded. I loved all the action. I thought hockey was great. The first regular season game I saw was between the penguins and the sabers. It was ten times more intense. Had second row seats directly behind the goal. Got to talk to the goal judge, real cool. Never been to a playoff game, I can only imagine.

I totally agree,, Hockey is best seen live. I had 2nd row seats just outside the blueline, got to see Forsberg, Sakic, and Waugh (sorry bout the spelling lol) at their best in the Avs 96' playoff finals. The Mile High city rocked !!!

Good news for ME: Toronto kicked Detroit's ass 5-1! Woohoo! It's only a 2 game winning streak now, but they are playing better lately and Kessel is a great influx of energy! They play Minnesota next(5wins 10 losses) so they could make it 3 in a row!
![]() Good news for Jen: The Flyers won 2-1 in a shootout. They have now won 4 games in a row. Ray Emery looks to be a good signing for them! Bad news for Ila: Montreal lost 3-1 to Tampa Bay. I didn't watch the game(as I was working, and I would have watched the Leaf game instead ![]() Bad news for ME: Even though Washington scored 7 goals last night, Semin didn't get me one stinking point! He is supposed to get me a little closer to the leader in the pool while Ovechkin is out(I have Semin rather than Ovechkin), but he hasn't done anything except pick is nose the past couple of games! Boo Semin, BOOOO! Good news for the Devil's fans: They won their game as well, a 3-2 come-from-behind win against Ottawa. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Light night of hockey last night, with only two games being played. Atlanta came back and won in Jen's favourite fashion( ![]() Also, Edmonton beat Colorado 5-3, which is kind of a shocker being as where the two teams are in the standings. Tonight is an even slower night of hockey, with only one game being played(LA vs Chicago). Looks like Cam Ward(Carolina goalie) will miss about a month after getting cut with a skate in his calf area in Saturday night's game. It could have been a scary injury indeed, but it looks like it missed anything major. |

Now..that said..I am a ockey purest.. I love hockey and I do watch as much of the "Original 6" as possible when they are on TV.. Yeah it's really awesome to have an NHL franchise here in Colorado, but I enjoy it more when one of the Original teams comes to play!!.. It has to do with all the history behind the teams and the names that played the game back in the day.. I think those fans, know hockey best and they stand behind their team through thick and thin.. With the Avs. We were basically handed a quality team at the start with a high powered roster, and the managment just put the final pieces in place and Looky Looky.. we win the cup in 96!!!!.. Then after a few years of not quite geting the job done.. Mr Lacroix ups and adds 2 more pieces to the puzzle and the Avs take another Cup in 2001!!.. So.. We here in Colorado have been spoiled early on just a bit and I don't think a lot of the fans have really stood solidly behind this teem the last few seasons.. Yes there have been thos fans that have stuck it out!!.. But there are always going to be the "band wagon jumpers" I just don't think we , eher in Colorado, have really built that looooong time tradition that storied teams like the Red Wings, Montreal, Boston, The Rangers and so on, have built for them selves over the decades!!.. I love hockey and the fast pace and excitement the game has. I agree that Bettman needs to go peddle his papers elsewhere and that league needs to get tougher in their poilcies towards the "nastier" and uncalled for crap that happens on the ice from time to time!!. The next commissioner needs to be a hard nosed, "enough of this goon crap" type of person that will hit those that stray to the "dark side" really hard in the pocket book!!.. no more of the namby pamby junk that Bettman seems to be stuck on doing!!!... Well.. That's my 2 cents worth!!.. As always it is JMO and subject to rebuttal, ridicule and what ever else you all want to say!!!.
